The happy beginning to many a day has for me been marred by those ‘eyes front’ – ‘never look left or right, never think of those behind’ types who drive with their elbows out of the window and have all the time in the world to waste. One can only assume that their time is not very valuable or belongs to someone else – the latter more likely. In the Republic ‘elbow driving’ is an offence for which you are fined ‘on the spot’……whew! Sorry – that’s the way I feel this morning.
